Back into NSW for an unexpected turn...



Bye, Bye beautiful coast....will see you in the spring time....

OMG look how F***ing cold it is!!! Its winter, yup and mornings are a real treat getting out of the car and making our way to HOT HOT HOT showers!!! See below pic of our temperature gauge!

We are now in Jindabyne, known affectionately as part of the Snowies or The Snowie Mountains. An amazing place....a place where we have decided to park our butts for a while and put in as many job applications as possible to see if we can work in Thredbo or Perisher for the snow season? It may or may not work, because all the job placements happen in Feb. But we can only try! This part of the trip, and if it works out it will fuel our next leg of the journey into Melbourne and Tasmania for spring and summer! 

This part of our journey wasn't planned, but as we have always said, 'everything is subject to change'. We are loving the challenge!




We pulled into 'The BIG4 Discovery Holiday Park'.


Below is Leonie making a new friend, and she has no food in her hand! The little lady just waddled up to say 'hello' and then went on her happy way...lol


Winter sun is a real treat here, oh just lapping it up!!!


Da Dahhhh we made it! Wooooo Hooooo!!!!


The drive into Perisher on the Snowy Mountain Highway


Below Leonie prepares herself to hand in her CV for employment with Perisher....Hmmmmm
(You can see small snow patches over the front valley in the background. Snow making time) 


Look at that! Below they are making snow!!!!


These little patches of snow provide the base for the real snow to settle and 'stick' to the manmade stuff. (We've been told it costs about 10K just to fire these babies up and then around 100K to run them all night....so it's an expensive process all this snow stuff :)


Dom got picked up by the cops in a hellicopter!!! hehehehehe
(You'll have to watch the below video to see what happens??)



Clearly Leonie is in one of her brat moods...lol...Always playing around with life! :)


Does Dom really get taken away by the cops in a helicopter? Watch and see for your self...


Below we got our Kosciusko National Parks pass at a discounted price...because we both scored 2 jobs each for the winter (in Thredbo)!!! Yup, all those job applications that we put in, and door knocking paid off!
(See...if you persist, hustle, smile and believe in yourself things really do happen! Stay tuned to find out where we are working) 


Below Dom couldn't belive the amount of water that was pouring out of the back of this ute...


Then we looked inside to find it full with snow!!! Where has this ute been???


The river that runs from the top of Thredbo down into Jindabyne.



Stay tuned to see where we are now working! And if you come up for the snow season let us know so we can take some time off to spend with you all :) 
Lots and lots of warm hugs to you all!!!
